Conference Call & Webcast:

Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time

The Company’s full financial statements and related MD&A for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2018 will be available at www.sedar.com on September 13, 2018.

“During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, InMed continued to execute on its R&D and business strategy,” stated President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric A. Adams. “The Company’s progress is on track to help establish our leadership position in the field of cannabinoid pharmaceutical research. Our goal is to develop innovative therapies for the treatment of important diseases with high unmet medical needs and to lead the burgeoning cannabinoid sector with our first-in-class biosynthetic manufacturing technology. Over the course of this next fiscal year,” Mr. Adams concluded, “we will remain focused on building shareholder value via innovative scientific research and development, as well as attaining greater exposure within the investment community in the United States and other key markets.”

R&D and Business Update:

Biosynthesis manufacturing technology. The Company, in conjunction with its collaborators at the University of British Columbia, continued to advance the production platform for the bio-fermentation of cannabinoids. Optimization of the underlying gene vector will continue with our partners at UBC and, in parallel, we will be contracting with several external Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) for the identification of optimal fermentation conditions as well as purification processes. The Company also expects to continue to protect its intellectual property via additional patent filings in the coming months.

INM-750 for the treatment of the orphan disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB). During the fiscal 4Q18, we continued working to optimize the formulation for INM-750 and initiated work on IND-enabling pharmacology and toxicology studies. These studies may be grouped into the following three general categories: (1) Formulation studies that will allow us to select our final topical formulation by the end of calendar 2018 for our first-in-man clinical trial; (2) Pharmacology studies, which have been designed to augment our understanding of the pharmacological roles of each component of INM-750 that we also expect to complete by the end of calendar 2018; and (3) Other pre-clinical studies, the first group of which will serve as the basis for detailed discussions with the regulatory authorities and the second set of the pre-clinical studies, which will be based on the outcomes of those discussions, will enable an IND submission. We continue to believe that we are on track to begin discussions of our clinical development plans with regulatory authorities in the first half of 2019 and to file an IND for INM-750 in the second half of 2019.

Results of Operations (expressed in Canadian Dollars):

For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss of $3.03 million and $8.52 million, or $0.02 and $0.06 per share, respectively, compared with a net loss of $1.88 million and $4.47 million, or $0.02 and $0.05 per share, for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2017.

Research and development expenses were $0.58 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $0.38 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, research and development expenses totaled $1.93 million, which compares with $0.75 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase in research and development expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same quarter in 2017 was primarily due to increased spending with external contractors for expenditures related to the advancement of INM-750 for the treatment for EB, as well as higher R&D personnel compensation as a result of increased R&D staffing.

The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $0.98 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $0.75 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses totaled $3.37 million, which compares with $2.32 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same quarter in 2017, was primarily due to increased personnel compensation that reflects increased staffing, reflective of the growth in the Company’s operations.

The Company also incurred non-cash, share-based payments, in connection with the grant of stock options, of $1.51 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $0.72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, non-cash, share-based payments totaled $3.20 million, which compares with $1.31 million for the corresponding period in 2017.

At June 30, 2018, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $26.48 million, which compares to $6.71 million at June 30, 2017. During the twelve months to June 30, 2018, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $19.77 million, which resulted primarily from receipt of net cash proceeds of $22.14 million from its June 21, 2018 financing and its non-brokered private placement completed on January 3, 2018 and $2.34 million proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options less $4.67 million cash outflows from operating activities.

About InMed:InMed is a pre-clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing novel therapies through the research and development into the extensive pharmacology of cannabinoids coupled with innovative drug delivery systems.

About Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a group of rare diseases that cause fragile, blistering skin. The blisters may appear in response to minor injury, even from heat, rubbing, scratching or adhesive tape. In severe cases, the blisters may occur inside the body, such as the lining of the mouth or the stomach. Most types of epidermolysis bullosa are inherited. The condition usually presents in infancy or early childhood. Epidermolysis bullosa has no cure.

About INM-750. INM-750 is a proprietary, topical cannabinoid product candidate targeted as a therapy in epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and other potential dermatological and wound-healing applications. It has been specifically designed with the intent to: (i) modify the underlying cause of the disease in certain patients with EB Simplex (EBS, the most common form of EB), and (ii) to treat the major symptoms of the disease in all patients with EB. Preclinical data generated previously demonstrates that INM-750 may have a significant impact on certain symptoms of EB (which may include improvement of wound area to promote healing, reduction in pain, itch and inflammation, and providing antimicrobial activity). These disease hallmarks are key therapeutic targets for the effective treatment of EB as well as several other dermatological conditions. Additionally, our data indicate that INM-750 may have an impact on the underlying disease by increasing the production of certain proteins, called keratins, in the skin.
